Gee, Vee & Eee

AND MANY FLOWERS THAT DID!

GEE SAW FLOWERS 

AND THOUGHT FLIES!!

‘TASTY’ SPIED THE HERON

SHOWING SOME METAL.

GEE TAKING NO CHANCES

HURRIED AWAY.

SOMETIMES VISITORS PASSED

THROUGH VEE’S GARDEN

LIKE THE NEIGHBOUR’S CAT.

OTHERS JUST MADE FLYING VISITS!

‘MORNING GEE’ LAUGHED VEE

HANGING OUT THE WASHING.

GEE FROZE

‘WHAT’S THIS

A GIANT BUMBLE BEE?’

VEE WAS A KIND SOUL

WHO LIKED TO HELP.

GEE PRETENDED 

VEE WAS INVISIBLE

AND DIDN’T NEED A LEG UP!

(BUT SECRETLY WAS GRATEFUL)

VEE FILLED UP BOWLS

FOR GEE’S BATH…

A SHOWER IN THE FLOWER BOWL.

A SOAK IN THE ROSE RESIDENCE 

OR A DIP IN PLUMBAGO PALACE.

VEE WAS SWEEPING THE GARDEN

‘HEY’ CROAKED GEE

‘THAT’S MY SUPPER.’

VEE STOPPED

‘YOU’RE RIGHT,

WE NEED INSECTS!’

THEN WHO ZIPPED OVER THE WALL

FROM THE FOREST 

BUT EEE…

LOOKING FOR ADVENTURE 

‘OOH, THIS PLACE IS WEIRD!’

ZOOMING ROUND THE GARDEN

EEE DISCOVERED GEE ON A SPIDER HUNT.

‘GET OFF!’ CROAKED GEE

NOT WISHING TO SHARE.

‘COME TO THE FOREST.’

CHIRPED THE FRIENDLY LIZARD

‘WE CAN HAVE FUN!’

BUT THE TOAD WAS NOT IN THE MOOD.

THERE WAS NO PERSUADING GEE

SO A DISAPPOINTED EEE RETURNED HOME

ONLY TO MEET BLACK SNAKE.

SNAKE FANCIED LIZARD FOR LUNCH

AND CAUGHT EEE BY THE TAIL.

LUCKILY IT FELL OFF AND EEE ESCAPED.

IT WAS A VERY WOBBLY EEE

WHO FELL BACK INTO THE GARDEN

(IT’S HARD TO BALANCE WITHOUT A TAIL)

GEE IN FULL FLY CATCHING MODE

FELT ODDLY SORRY FOR EEE

WHO WAS LOOKING VERY SHAKEN.

SO EEE, NO LONGER SPEEDY

UNTIL THAT TAIL GREW BACK,

HAD TO LEARN PATIENCE FROM GEE

AND GEE HAD TO LEARN TO SHARE 

THE GARDEN AND FLIES WITH EEE.

IT WASN’T EASY!

LUCKILY IT WAS HIGH FLY SEASON

SO GEE SHOWED EEE

HOW TO CATCH FLIES

‘BE STILL.  BE SILENT’

AND EEE SHOWED GEE

HOW TO BE FRIENDLY

‘BE NICE.  BE KIND’

THEN WHO SHOULD APPEAR BUT HAPPY PIG,

‘WHAT’S THIS?’ ASKED A PUZZLED GEE

‘A PIG’ EEE EXPLAINED PATIENTLY,

(EEE WAS LEARNING)

‘THERE ARE WILD ONES IN THE FOREST.’

‘SSSH!’ WHISPERED GEE THOUGHTFULLY

AS A FLY LANDED ON HAPPY PIG’S NOSE.

EEE GRATEFULLY SNAPPED IT UP

(GEE WAS LEARNING TOO!)

SOME OTHER VISITORS WERE LESS WELCOME.

A COUPLE, HIDING IN THE BOILER CUPBOARD

ATE ALL OF VEE’S PLANT FOOD

AND THE PARSLEY AND PASSIONFRUIT TOO.

SO WERE ASKED TO LEAVE.

THAT YEAR THE NORTH WIND

BLEW HARD.

BUT STILL NO RAIN CAME.

THE GARDEN WAS RUNNING OUT OF WATER.

FLOWERS WERE WILTING

BEES WHERE LEAVING.

GEE AND EEE WERE VERY THIRSTY TOO.

THEN WHO SHOULD APPEAR

BUT FEE THE FLOWER FAIRY.

SO FEE TAUGHT GEE AND EEE

THE MAGIC RAIN SONG.

AND IT WORKED!

THE RAIN POURED DOWN

THE FLOWERS PERKED UP

AND GEE AND EEE

DID A HAPPY RAIN DANCE!

THEN ONE NIGHT A NEW STREET LAMP

SHONE A HARSH WHITE LIGHT

INTO THE GARDEN

GEE COULDN’T SLEEP.

NOR COULD EEE…

WHO DAYDREAMED

OF GENTLE, FOREST MOONLIGHT.

EEE’S TAIL HAD GROWN BACK NOW

WAS IT TIME TO GO HOME?

EEE DIDN’T WANT TO LEAVE WITHOUT GEE

BUT HOW TO GET THE TOAD OVER THE WALL.

THE GARDEN WAS DRY AGAIN.

SO WAS GEE’S SKIN

AND THE NORTH WIND JUST BLEW DUST.

WAS IT TIME FOR GEE TO LEAVE TOO?

SUDDENLY

GEE DISAPPEARED.

IT WAS A BIG MYSTERY!

VEE WAS SAD

BUT DREAMED GEE AND EEE
